I could get shipping price doing that. Where is your problem? Maybe we could figure it out.

You don't need to put credit card information. Just put in your address then the shipping price will be up.

Well, looks like my order went through. Bought 3 of them. Unfortunately, the only reasonable shipping method was USPS First Class, so I might not even get them that much before they are released..... Oh well.

Edit: wow, sold out in 2 and a half minutes.

Boo. I call foul play on their timer mechanism. I suspect that their was a minor inconsistency across browsers or via the calculation from when you loaded the page. I purposefully had that page up for several hours, and watched it count down. It went from 0 directly to the Sold Out button appearing. Didn't even see the add to cart, even for a split second. I was ready to click the instant my timer ran down. In theory (get it, in THEORY?) that button should have at minimum appeared for all users at the same time, even if you only had a moment to click it.

It's not like I'm going to sue or anything, and I'll just buy a deck in a couple weeks, but as a professional web developer I'm kind of disappointed that their mechanism obviously did not work perfectly consistently for all viewers.

From what I noticed, the inconsistency seemed to be caused by having the page open, but being on a different tab in the browser. When I went back to the monarch page, I refreshed and a large chunk of the time was skipped to catch back up to what is should be.

On the bright side, at least this is not a ultra rare run of 111, only a week and a half before they have numerous decks for sale.

Its not worth making a fuss over, but I was excited to give it a shot, made sure I was ready and all that. If I didn't even get the chance to see the button, that means my local timer was off by at least 90 seconds (what they said it sold out in). So that was poopy programming.

I'd sure catch hell if one of my web sites interactive features was off by that much. :)

Ah well, hopefully their servers won't die on 11/11/11.

I'm in the same boat Ev, my wife was side-tracked when ordering and only got one. When I went to try to place an order for 3 it said I had to wait 10 minutes...and well, the rest is history. It is basically a sneak peek anyway, so no big deal.
